GUys got a q what is the best unit?

Buddy had that rule in his 39 game. 2 d6 SBR
Knocked Germany out of game in 2 turns. He had to change it to 1.
Doesn’t g40 have that ? Don’t really know on them games

I agree this is something I’ve never seen in a RL game. Maybe vs. the comp but even then…

Any invasion of North America proper with the exception of Alaska can be sniffed out pretty quickly. If the Germans are buying transports also that tells me they aren’t buying lots of inf, which means they aren’t worried about the Russians which means Russia is kaput which means the entire Allied game plan is pretty much kaput (economic victory usually follows caputre of Russia).

As was said above this, if you can somehow get things going and time a joint Japanese/ German assault where it would split the American ability to defend, but even then you would have to have a lot of troops since they can pile up 7 INF/ turn with only W and E USA.

It’s a simple game :roll: made from a complex war.
The game has gone through it’s own evolution to be a GREAT GAME!
Try it your way a few times if you want.

But, it would benefit the Allies at UK sz and other places after that.

maybe if you play with a rule that lets germany build naval units for half off. I’d be willing to do that as allies as long as otherwise it’s standard rules.

@Xi:

KNOWLEDGEABLE DUDES and DUDETTES,
Y don’t you post a website where s/he can find the rules variations?
Ta da! - Xi

ok i found a website with the rules. http://www.kelleysisland.com/danspage/axisallies/rule.html

he might have the PC version, and if you download that off the internet i highly doubt it comes with a full rulebook

I did find your answer in the instruction book under Section 5 Combat “Do ALL combat movement BEFORE resolving any combat.”

Artillery based AA guns – ha, brings backs memories 😄

Of course you still have to factor in limitations at two per side or distribute them equally to both sides at the beginning of the game. Changing units stats and/or adding in new units are the surest way to expand the game into a new field of tactics and dynamics. This frees up a considerable amount of complexity and difficulty of altering the game board itself (too sticky), adding in totally new rule sets (too difficult to learn), or using dinosaurs (too extinct). Interested to learn, if anybody else has variations on different units.
